"Almudena - My portraits are an invitation to the unique perception of each one, but if I intend something with them is to suggest something more than an inert face. Sons of the moon represents the children who were born without parents and face the world without them. I made this painting after my experience in Senegal, Africa, working in an orphanage with a lot of children eager for love and smiles.Complimentary epigraph: ‘’The moon wanes to cradle the children born without cradle. For all of them she shines, to remind them that even without parents she will light up their ways in the darkest nights’’."
